Major international pizza franchise Domino’s Pizza has pulled a very low blow to its employees in Costa Rica and the Work Ministry as well leaving 135 employees out of work without previous notice and under very false excuses.
It all began last Friday during closing time, all employees with keys to all 9 Domino’s Pizza restaurants in Costa Rica were asked to leave the keys to all facilities with the excuse that personnel from the Health Ministry will be arriving early in the morning to run some check ups due to costumer complains. The employees came back to their work places on Saturday morning to find the restaurants dismantled and no one to give them any reason why. All the 135 Domino’s Pizza employees were out of work, without any excuse whatsoever.
Early Monday morning they were supposed to meet with Domino’s Pizza managers to see about the vacations money, aguinaldos and all the law guarantees they are supposed to receive but again no one from Domino’s Costa Rica showed up to the meeting they planned for the employees. These types of situations are not very common in Costa Rica, given the fact that the work law is quite dependable and detailed, yet it some textile companies left hundreds of employees hanging in the past decades.
As for the Domino’s Pizza ex-employees, they are now getting advice on how to sue the company and prevent them from taking any work materials such as ovens, freezers and machinery out ofCosta Rica since the sale of those items might mean they will get the money they deserve. If anyone knows a way to help these Costa Rica workers please feel free to leave a comment.
